The internationally recognized borders are the pre-1967 lines. The Green Line. Israel seized territory during the '67 war. One of those territories is the West Bank. Israel has no sovereign title to that land. You cannot hold onto land seized in a war. Period. Saying you can, is the same as saying it was okay for Germany to annex Poland.Your argument is built on the premise that there is an existing international border which demarcates Israel from Arab Palestine. There is not. The border is under dispute and has never been settled between the parties involved. Your premise is incorrect and your argument has no validity.
Unless you want to argue for the Oslo Accords in which case Israel builds only on land which, by mutual agreement, is under her control.
On the contrary the international recognition is and always has been that final borders will be negotiated in a final peace treaty. There is no cause in international law or recognition to claim that a border already exists and that therefore a particular piece of land is or is not part of "Palestine".
